# Vumarii Patreon announcement: bounded public-recovery audit ## Why this matters A contemporary 5 September 2018 Reddit post records a Patreon link as an official Tengri 137 announcement, saying a new puzzle might arrive the next year. The signed 2019 Vumarii image followed. That makes the link useful for chronology, but there is no evidence that it contained a decryption key or instruction. ## Result No byte-bearing public capture was returned by this bounded run. 17 archive request(s) did not complete cleanly, so this is not a negative archive census. A returned empty response is evidence only about that endpoint; a timeout, gateway response, or bot challenge is deliberately kept separate from an explicit absence. This is a bounded archive result, not proof that the post never had content or cannot be found elsewhere. ## Contemporary context, carefully bounded In the same thread, its Reddit author said that the Patreon description explained that money would be spent on children and other help organisations. This is a contemporaneous community account, not preserved Patreon text and not an author-signed statement. It is evidence of a claimed charitable purpose, not evidence of a cipher key. ## Provenance - Contemporary record: `archive/recon/reddit/r-tengri137-9dc4hc-tengri-137-is-active-again-they-send-me-a-message-and.md` (SHA-256 `f1b950a4e1d6fdd0d894764440c1e339d54be2b5d401215aac1f485afac37366`) - Recorded URL: `https://www.patreon.com/posts/vumarii-21229946` - Checked at: `2026-07-27T18:35:40+00:00` ## Direct page observation The current public GET returned HTTP `403`; the saved response preview is in the JSON audit. A blocked live page is not evidence for or against historic content. ## Public archives checked ### Wayback CDX - `www.patreon.com/posts/vumarii-21229946`: HTTP `200`, `0` record(s). - `patreon.com/posts/vumarii-21229946`: HTTP `None`, `unparsed` record(s). ### Arquivo.pt - `www.patreon.com/posts/vumarii-21229946`: HTTP `200`, `unparsed` record(s). - `patreon.com/posts/vumarii-21229946`: HTTP `200`, `unparsed` record(s). ### Common Crawl The scan ran `prefix` queries for both natural host variants across `9` collections, for `18` total queries. Final status counts: `{'404_no_captures': 2, 'network_error': 16}`. Any gateway result remains visible in the JSON rather than being called an absence. ## What would close this lead A fetchable archived record with content bytes, a contemporaneous screenshot/export with provenance, or authorised access to the creator/post page. ## Reproduce ```powershell & '' scripts\audit_vumarii_patreon_recovery.py ``` The scan performs fresh public network queries; the saved JSON records the exact observation in this research run.
